99 V6 Ford Mustang Convertible, I sold the car to my mother cause it was in such great shape, only 49,000 miles. Miss the car but love my 07 Chilli Red MCS. Two totally different cars though.

I've ordered a 2007 MCS (Pure Silver, Red Lounge Leather) to replace my 2005 Acura NSX. Seriously.

Heavily modded 1990 CRX...it kinda feels like the Mini, but without any semblance of refinement, power options, and at about 400 lbs. lighter.

Our Mini S will be an addition. Wife will sell the Camry she's driving, the Mini is sort of her's (sort of). I have a 2004 S2000. Sold a TT ALMS for that. Also drive an Accord (cheap company car). That will leave the S2k, the MCS, and the Accord in the garage.

It's going to be interesting to see if the MCS gets driven more than the S2k.

O4 BMW 330xi For 07 MCS.

After seeing all the replies with folks trading-in or selling nice cars for Mini's, I'm not so self-conscious...lol.

The bimmer is a great car, but I knew the steptronic (automatic) and 4-doors, was a mistake. It is just No fun. I'm yearning to drive a FUN car. So I hope I made the right choice? Anyway, I've got two months to ponder this...lol. As it has yet to be created...

A 2006 Subaru 3R. Love the car, didn't like it eating up gas though. I filled up about 3 times a week. I drive about 100 miles a day going and coming from work. Gave the Subaru to the wife. She has a shorter commute than I do. Bought a Mini last Sunday and LOVE IT!!!

Now to dig into this cult like following you folks have here.

Traded in the 2005 VW Touareg just a couple of days ago. The V8 was giving only 12mpg and I just couldn't take it anymore. Now there's a beautiful '07 MC out front. Yea!

Although my wife drives a 1998 RAV4, I haven't had a car of my own for 7 years -- I took the *bus* to work, and while trying to decide what to get with my MINI, I would *walk* to the dealership.

The MCS will be a bit of a change.... It arrives on the Freedom into Charleston on April 22nd.

It's time!

Selling a 99 Audi A4 in prep for our incoming coop. Probably sell it before the MINI arrives so I'll be cycling to work for a couple of weeks. Probably best, too many chocolate chip cookies lately.

Since I'm still awaiting delivery of my R56, I am still driving a 95 Mitsubishi 3000gt. I picked it up in 1997 with 32k and have put on an extra 150,000 miles. In all that time, I had to rebuild the clutch, 2 water pumps, 1 starter, and oil changes. An awesome car, and I averaged 27 mpg too but it was just time to move on. So, I got a MINI (well... soon I'll get a MINI).

Getting rid of my 87 BMW 325, which was a strict beater car (haven't sold it yet, but it's still for sale!!), for my r56. Keeping my modded 86 BMW 325es.

Also need to sell my 67 BMW 1600-2 that's just been sitting since I got it 2 yrs ago.
